The Adolescent Award Brain

release date: Oct 29, 2017
The Adolescent Award Brain
If you teach in a school with difficult students, this book is for you. Are they snarky? Do they try to negotiate with you or simply refuse when you ask them to do the simplest things? Do you feel disrespected and unappreciated? If you answered yes to any and all of these questions, you need to read this! It turns out that new brain research shows that adolescents are simply wired way differently than adults. Because various parts of their brain have not yet come into full maturity, they make way different choices than they might in ten or so years. Motivated by thrills, adventure, rewards and fun, they could really care less about threats of punishment. We teachers can put this to our advantage to have fun, engaging, interesting classrooms even in the most challenging of circumstances. Ms. Smith also deals with topics such as bullying and violence in the classroom; even what to do if you are threatened. This book could be considered to be a definitive guide for how to teach in the most challenging classrooms anywhere!

Louisiana Lament

release date: Apr 01, 2007
Louisiana Lament
Allyson Brown---the Girl Gatsby, they called her. A woman of wealth, hostess of fabled parties, patron of the arts, especially of poets. Found floating in her own swimming pool, shot to death. Poet and fledgling detective Talba Wallis gets an urgent call from the sister she barely knows, Janessa. The Girl Gatsby was Janessa''s close friend. But this call isn''t an invitation to an elegant literary salon. Janessa wants off the hook as the principal murder suspect. Investigating, Talba and her perpetually irascible boss, Eddie, find the reality behind the Gatsby glamour. Allyson Brown was widely hated, a con artist who neglected her children, failed to pay her bills, and lied to everyone. The one person she loved may have ushered her to her death. The case takes Talba and Eddie from literary parties to Gulf Coast bait shops, from biker bars to abandoned wharves, and finally to the story of another Gatsby, which may yield answers, or greater mysteries. Louisiana Lament is Talba''s journey through the not-so-genteel Southern literary scene, where backbiting and petty jealousies abound and mint juleps are served with canapés of carnage. At the publisher''s request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management software (DRM) applied.

P.I. on a Hot Tin Roof

release date: Apr 01, 2007
P.I. on a Hot Tin Roof
When PI Talba Wallis gets a frantic phone call from Orleans Parish Prison, the last person she expects to hear from is her boss''s lawyer daughter, Angie. Popped for drug possession, Angie insists the drugs were planted. She''s a target for representing a neighborhood group protesting the illegal commercial use of a marina by its owner, Judge Buddy Champagne. According to Angie, the judge is dirty---and he''s the one who had her set up. Talba and her boss, Eddie, are outraged---knowing Angie as they do, they pull out all the stops for her. And when Talba goes undercover as a housekeeper for Judge Champagne, she finds a household straight out of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, with the judge playing Big Daddy. The weak son and the hot daughter-in-law are in residence, being "between jobs." Big Mama''s absent, though---she died some time ago, and the judge is now adding his fiancée to the mix. That would be Miss Kristin LaGarde, an impossibly lovely, and possibly innocent, young lady who seems hopelessly in love with the old coot. Talba dredges up lots of interesting material; such as that someone was accidentally electrocuted at the marina and that the judge is in bed with certain bail bondsmen. She finds evidence of bribes and kickbacks. He''s dirty all right. When the story breaks and the scandal deepens, Judge Champagne winds up dead. And, to her surprise, Talba is asked to investigate. Did politics kill the judge? Or was it his own family? At the publisher''s request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management software (DRM) applied.

Citizens' Europe?

release date: Jan 01, 1994
Citizens' Europe?
The June 1994 European elections offer the first opportunity for electors in twelve countries to vote as citizens of the European Union. The intense debate surrounding ratification of the Maastricht Treaty showed that many citizens feel increasingly out of touch with European institutions and decision-making. The treaty extends the powers of the European Parliament, yet once again the election campaigns look sat to focus on-domestic issues in the individual member states rather than on the effect on the whole Union of matters such as unemployment, immigration and the environment.

The New Bilateralism

release date: Jan 01, 2002
The New Bilateralism
This volume assesses the changing nature of the UK''s bilateral relations within the EU. The authors argue that effective bilateral relations are vital to effective decisionmaking and that with repeated EU enlargement they are becoming increasingly important. While France and Germany working in tandem have for many years acted as a motor of integration, few other countries have actively sought to build up good bilateral relations on a systematic basis. Since the 1998 ''step change initiative'' the UK has been trying to do just this. The book shows that the UK has begun to build up long-term bilateral cooperation that will serve as the backdrop to specific bilateral initiatives —particularly in the areas of defense, social policy, and internal security —enabling it to push the process of integration further.
